What we do

RCCE works to ensure all affiliated village halls and community
buildings in Essex are provided with encouragement and support in their
management.

RCCE Village Halls and Community Buildings Advice service aims to:

Ensure all village halls/ community centres are well run

Encourage and support hall redevelopment projects

Provide grant funding advice

Provide information and advice on running a hall charity in your local community

Provide advice and information on all aspects of village hall and community building management

RCCE undertakes surveys and consultations to provide feedback
to ACRE and Government on certain issues that concern members,
particularly to provide a case for additional funding for Village Halls
and Community Buildings.

We hold an annual Village Halls and Community Building Conference, which is open to all village halls, community buildings, parish councils and parties interested rural community development.

Our dedicated Village Hall & Community Buildings Adviser is
available to attend meetings at your hall, provide advice and discuss
specific issues/projects as appropriate.
